BuzzFeed has reported that Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), the longest serving member in the House and ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, settled a wrongful dismissal complaint with a former female employee after she alleged he fired her for dismissing his sexual advances in 2015.
She's not the only one he sexually harassed:
Documents from the complaint obtained by BuzzFeed News include four signed affidavits, three of which are notarized, from former staff members who allege that Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the powerful House Judiciary Committee, repeatedly made sexual advances to female staff that included requests for sexual favors, contacting and transporting other women with whom they believed Conyers was having affairs, caressing their hands sexually, and rubbing their legs and backs in public. Four people involved with the case verified the documents are authentic.
